The government convened the Council of Government to meet on 5 August to review commitments taken on in January during the Presidential Summit meetings held earlier in the year. The government maintains that it has been fulfilling these commitments gradually, Secretary of the Presidency Cesar Pina Toribio said yesterday.
The Ministry of the Economy, Planning and Development is organizing the meeting. On the question of the "pilgrimages" to Santo Domingo by delegations from the provinces seeking action for their communities, Pina Toribio said they are happening because a first pilgrimage was successful.
He said that his office serves as the channel for directing community demands to the appropriate ministries. "I call upon the officials, particularly the ministers and those in charge of those areas that are the object of such demands, that as soon as one of these pilgrimages is announced, they should get in touch with the organizers in order to offer the corresponding answers."
Pina Toribio said that in many of these cases, processes are already under way, and the answers being given do not seem to appeal to the organizers of these pilgrimages. He also accused opposition politicians of jumping on the organizers' bandwagons.
